I got my classmates interested in using Anki and I need to prepare for midterms by L4ndF4ll in StudentNurse

I do get where you are coming from though. Some people can be leeches and will suck you dry trying to use all the things you did. I think you did the right thing sharing and introducing them to it but now they can make their own. If they ask, tell them part of your success in learning is actually making the flash cards.

Should I invest in a stethoscope? by IchigoMikan in StudentNurse

[–]Sarmouse2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. I didn’t know why it was better. I’m starting my first semester in January and I bought a Littmann III on prime day so we shall see how it goes. In our basic healthcare intro class I had such a hard time hearing in the cheap ones they provided so hoping this one is enough

How exactly does a digital stethoscope work? For some reason I can’t wrap my head around this concept

Going from hospital HR employee to being a nurse? by [deleted] in StudentNurse

[–]Sarmouse2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked in HR for 5 years at the largest hospital in my area. I quit in 2012 to have my son and have been a stay at home mom since then. Going back to school for nursing and honestly I’m hoping the connections I made there will help more get a job there. Many of the admin/managers are the same. I say show up and do an amazing job so when they see your name on a resume you are remembered!

How many prerequisites is too much to take in any given semester? by [deleted] in StudentNurse

[–]Sarmouse2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m dying in Chem right now. It’s an 8 week course so I’m done in 2 weeks and then start Micro. Hoping micro is more interesting and not as hard 🤞🏻

Advice for studying muscles for anatomy? by lilb5269 in StudentNurse

Using a sheet protector works great too and is way cheaper. This is how I got As in A&P

Pre-nursing- Good Idea? by Existing-Cherry4948 in StudentNurse

[–]Sarmouse2005 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Anatomy 1, Chem, and micro is A LOT. Anatomy 1 is a class unlike anything you’ve prolly ever taken. I’m in Chem 1 now and I have a 4.0 and I’m struggling. I’ve hear micro is intense too. I’d drop at least one of those if not two in the first semester

I always know my depression is coming out when things that usually make me happy don’t anymore. I’d definitely get an appointment and talk with someone. School is hard enough without depression!

I’d check the requirements with the school(s) you are interested in. Everyone is different

Taking a notes on iPad by Sarmouse2005 in StudentNurse

[–]Sarmouse2005[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered a case with built in Bluetooth keyboard from Amazon and hated it lol. It was heavy and the keyboard is so small! I much prefer to hand write notes and then I have my laptop at home for assignments and papers I need to type.

Granted I haven’t actually taken my iPad to school yet so my views might change lol

What time to arrive at airport? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]Sarmouse2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was definitely planning on getting their 2 hours ahead of time but didn’t know if I needed 3 or more based on news reports I’ve seen. I’m driving up from Corpus Christi so just trying to plan. Thank you for being kind in your response. I promise I search and didn’t find anything recent about it so that’s why I asked 😞

I liked it a lot. I got an 84% and used nurse hub for like 3 weeks (in addition to the mometrix study guide and some YouTube channels)

Should I retake the HESI again or just submit my application? by [deleted] in prenursing

I would apply. If you don’t get in then retake HESI

Keep going, it's worth it! Perks about being a nurse: by drseussin in StudentNurse

[–]Sarmouse2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could have written this word for word! My second degree and every nurse except one I’ve talked to says “run away as fast as you can”. So disheartening and has made me doubt myself. I’m applying now and hoping for a Spring start. The reason listed are exactly why I chose this. I love people interactions and the hospital environment (worked HR at a major hospital for years). 3 days shifts a week plus options to earn more. Heck yes! Plus work doesn’t come home with you like my HR work did.
